Spiced Sweet Potato Casserole is a classic dish that combines mashed sweet potatoes with brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, topped with marshmallows and pecans. Baked to a golden finish, this casserole is perfect for different gatherings easy to make and deliciously cozy.

Ingredients
  • 4 large sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup pecans (chopped)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Cook the Sweet Potatoes

    Boil the sweet potatoes in salted water until tender (about 15 minutes), then drain and mash.

    Tip: Mashing the potatoes while warm gives a smoother texture.
  2. 2
    Mix the Ingredients

    Combine the mashed sweet potatoes with brown sugar, melted butter, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract.

    Tip: Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more brown sugar if desired.
  3. 3
    Spread the Mixture

    Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

    Tip: Smooth the top for even marshmallow coverage later.
  4. 4
    Add the Toppings

    Sprinkle mini marshmallows and chopped pecans over the top.

    Tip: For an extra crunch, toast the pecans in a dry skillet before adding.
  5. 5
    Bake the Casserole

    Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until the marshmallows are golden and melted.

    Tip: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth on hot marshmallows!
